Hello All.
I have been using access for a short while, and am fairly proficient with
querying and write VB code. However, I am completely new to developing forms
and reports. I was hoping you could help me.
The access database I am working with has a series of reference files
(word/pdf). Originally, these files were stored on a central server and we
provided links to them, but for various reasons we would like to embed them
in access. I was able to add each of the files into a table using the OLE
Object type with an associated name and description.
The difficulty comes when trying to create a form with these objects.
Essentially, I am trying to work towards one consolidated form that has each
file listed with a button you click to open it up. Any ideas? I tried to use
a wizard, but the form separated each file as a separate record (rightfully
so).
What I looking for:
Document 1: <Click to Open>
Document 2: <Click to Open>
Document 3: <Click to Open>
I greatly appreciate any assistance you could provide.
Thanks,
Michael
